There’s a popular misconception that people who wear braces have a difficult time flossing their teeth.

Flossing is an important part of dental hygiene and shouldn’t be neglected…no matter how challenging the task! In children and adults who wear braces, particles are more likely to be trapped in the bands and wires. This puts them at an increased cavity risk.

People tend to neglect oral care when they are hard pressed for time, especially those with braces. Take the time to properly care for teeth now so they can be at their best when braces are removed.
